The with tag puts the 0001 object on top of the namespace. Next thing, you 
don't do anything with that namespace, so no actual output is produced.

Zope checks your output for HTML tags (specifically, for the <HTML> tag), 
and as it can't find that, it tries to adjust the MIME-type accordingly. 
That's what makes your browser prompt you to save the file.
